On November 9th this proposal wns de.fiiiitely rejected by the people. If the eleerion meant anything, it, was a mandate from the people to enforce exist inp, laws. Two weck-H went b and the council proposed a blanket tav to force those who had already paid their improvement. asyo.sHiiieinN and those who had not benefited bv the im provements, to pav the interest on the oustanding iniprovo inent bonds. The legality of this levy i questionable, as the tte law (Statutes of 1901 ) provides Mint paving bond interest must be paid from paving interest funds, collected from the property assessed for paving A petition was presented November 2."., signed by tax payers, requesting the council to proceed to collect the in terest due on these improvement bonds tinder provisions of the city chnrter. No action has yet been forthcoming. Meanwhile new schemes are hatching for dodging debts contracted and shoving the burden of individuals upon the community. The following from a Portland paper of Xovo.mbor 2G shows how Portland handles the situatien: Properly ownt.TH wlioxo lots wito itilvertlHcil for nnlo thin inornlnR for (I('llii(iiciirloH In Intpromt nml liiRtnlliiinntg on boiuW titrept nnd Ht'wnr aHReMmtmtK innIe it niBh on the offlco of City Trcnmin'r Atlnnm and by 10 o'clock when th rain stnrtcd, ovor four-flfllm liuil lifted tliolr Inilul'tcil nt'fls.

These budget laws provide that it'shnll be unlawful for any tax to be levied unless an estimate shall have first been nindeof the amount of money proposed to be raised by tax ation for the ensuing year, and such estimate published. The estimates must be fully itemi.ed, showing under sep arate heads the amount required for each department, of government, the salary of each officer or employe, and shall contain n full and complete disclosure of the contem plated expendlt tires from the moneys proposed to be raised by taxation. The ostiinntos required, together with a notice of the time and place at which such estimates may be discussed with the city council, shall be published at least twice prior to the 1 hue nppointod for such proposed mooting in a news paper, provided that the first publication shall not bo less than twenty days nor the second less than ten days prior to such mooting.

THE CONSCRIPT AND THE CAPITALIST IX Europe's war-stricken countries we hear the murmurs of discontent that threaten to end the bloody contest without decisive results on the far-flung battle lines. These inurnuirings come not from tho trenches or the hos pitals or tho millions of orphaned children whoso pitiful plight should call angels down. The howl of distress comes from the large propcrly-holdeis. The hero on the battle line has his choice of death at tho hands of tho onoinv or by a firing squad of his own comrades. Hut far different with those who sit in snug complacency beyond all dangci, except a chance bomb from an aircraft. When the tir; becomes irksome they can start a fire in the roar, while their countrymen wither before tho onslaughts of the enemy. Tho reduction of incomes or decimation of wealth would' deprive the possessors of prestige and power, and the destruction of that power and prestige would remove the leaders who set on the children of poverty to mutual destruction. Dost roving that prestige and power would deprive the descendant's of the few who escape the shrap-J nel and machine guns ol fill opportunity in the future to shed glorv upon the name of their enuntrv in killing and' being killed. So it seenw likelv the war inav soon entl.i V A limited amount of war taxes and war debts are a blessing to the wealthy, as it increases their power and prestige, but when the tax amounts to confiscation and the debt grows to such proportions that it is not collect ible, it means the destruction of the capitalistic system of control, and that must be preserved even at the price of dishonorable peace, for have we not rend tlmt wealth is the cornerstone ol the state, and that industry and com native cannot exist without the capitalist . Councriptiou of the mldier is proper and legitimate, for his kind tire plentiful, but conscription ol the capital list's wealth would mean the divstruction of civilization, War is only defoiusiblo us long as it gives the capitalist opportunity to increase his wealth and p.iwei, but when it endangers such it is reprehensible. However reluctant we are to ndniit. that such are thol jieiitiuicHts of civdixed people, the history of the world! provcts the case, We an controlled by ruling classes that; are actuated by jim -sn h piui'Mples, -is again! till moral .iml liuiuaiiii tii.'ii piiifi"sii's.
